We had a great weekend! This was the best VRBO house we've stayed in. It was very clean and in a wonderful location. The host was responsive to our questions. We caught fish off of their dock and were close to the boat launch allowing us to boat every day. Having access to the Blackstone, Traeger, and gas grill added a lot to our stay. The beds were very comfortable as well.

One of the best stays we have ever had! The house is everything you could want in a beach house and more. The hosts were super helpful and really thought of everything. I loved how easy it was to find anything you might need because it was not only well marked but the guide provided covers everything! I can’t RAV enough about what a great stay we had and how I only hope we get to do it again next year.

Great Property on Clear Lake

This property is amazing as it is one of the few on Clear Lake with it's own private beach area. The location is in a really quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic. The property manager is extremely responsive and provided all necessary information for our stay. The house is amazing with all amenities you need to really enjoy your stay. The Traeger smoker was great as we enjoyed the meals prepared with it. The beach area was a huge hit with our grandchildren who enjoyed building sand castles and playing in the lake. A large floating pad provided unending creative options for our grandchildren to float on the lake. The paddle boards allowed for adults to enjoy the lake as well. Overall this was the best experience we have had with a VRBO stay.

Amazing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kiley’s house. We were there for my Dad’s Celebration of Life service—a difficult event—and this house provided a beautiful, warm, and cozy backdrop for our family. We were there in March with chilly temperatures, we want to come back for a summer visit to take full advantage of the lake! Kiley has thought of everything at the house; you will not be disappointed!

This house is the most equipped, well thought out vacation rental we have visited. There isn’t anything they haven’t thought of as far as amenities go for a large group. The house is incredibly well furnished and allowed us to be together comfortably. The personal touches of having local drinks available didn’t go unnoticed either. So appreciate this house as an option for our family and will absolutely be back!

Absolutely Perfection

Wow! Not only is this property gorgeous, clean and relaxing, there are amenities like being at your own home. If you forgot it, it seemed like they thought of everything and they had you covered! From sunglasses, spices to cell phone cords and top of the line appliances, (Just to name a few!) This was a spot for our out of town family to gather for our Son's Wedding. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to relax and stay during the commotion of a wedding weekend. Only thing we would have changed was to have had more down time from running around to the wedding venue ect. To have spent more time enjoying this beautiful property.

We couldn’t have stayed at a better spot. The house was gorgeous, perfectly outfitted on a beautiful lake with our own private beach.
